- Toyota helped start the electrification revolution in 1997 when it introduced the hybrid powertrain and proved its viability for use in passenger vehicles. Let's take a quick look at the THS, Toyota Hybrid System, that's found within so many Toyota vehicles. Learn about the functions of a prime plug-in hybrid: • How Does a Prime Plug-...

Thank you, Toyota, for providing us with the most reliable machines for centuries.
for centuries? bruh
Lol
My 2007 RAV4 had engine failure at 145K, so that's not been my experience.
Thanks bot 🤖👍 now go back to your cave please
Toyota started its operations in 1930s. So it is less than a century indeed.
I just purchased my first ever toyota, 2024 hybrid corolla, and I absolutely love it. I'm cranking out 52 mpg! I treat it like a game lol
We're glad you're having fun with your Corolla! Here's to many more amazing miles!
52? That's pathetic!
@@davidtheguitarmanis that too low or too high for your expectations
@@xujiaqi6520 Too damn low. I do 64 mpg and it's a diesel from 2018.
Great high-level overview. I think it's wonderful that Toyota is producing these educational videos for the public.
Some are like it just works don't worry about it lol.
What's funny is I purchased a 2022 Ford Maverick XL hybrid and someone in a Facebook Maverick group asked about it's eCVT transmission. Another commenter said it's borrowed from Toyota and posted a link to this video which brought me here. We almost bought the Toyota Cross but were looking for snall pickup with good fuel economy. It was only $19,995 back in 2022. Now it's $26,995 in 2025 (order banks just opened) and for the forst time the hybrid is available in an AWD. Mine is front wheel drive. I would have bought a hybrid Tacoma if there was such a thing, or the rumored Toyota Stout (smaller pickup than Tacoma) but Toyota hasn't come out with it yet. I will say this, I traded a 2012 Toyota Sienna for my 2022 Ford Maverick and I went from a dream machine minivan that had virtually no issues in 10 years of ownership and 133k miles to a vehicle that has had more than a dozen recalls, a 100k warranty recall on the long block engine, and 2 significant repairs that put the vehicle in the shop for over 2 months. You get what you pay for. The price was outstanding at under $20k for a hybrid truck getting about 38 mpg average over 41k miles BUT the reliability has been atrocious. I hope Toyota will come out with a fuel efficient hybrid truck.
Bought the 2024 Venza Hybrid Jan 2024 and absolutely love it. Averaging 39 miles to a gallon even when cruising at 79 mph. Very happy with the car and all of the electronics and 12.5 " display.
Sounds like you made the best decision ever! We're glad to have you in the Toyota family. ❤️
2024 Toyota Corolla Cross bought. Wouldn't trust any other brand. People saying you can get a full electric for the money I paid. Speak to me again in 10 years when my car is still A1.
Good choice. Though toyota doesn’t update the software on their cars unlike tesla.
Good keep paying smog for 10+ years.
Pick up my new Yaris Cross on Thursday 👍

Proud owner of a Highlander Hybrid….car works great very happy with it
Father got Camry Hybrid GLE 2023, Runs Nice And Smooth, Thanks Toyota For The Awesome Car
"...From the moment the start button is pressed" was something in the heart of every drivers. I also love to see how Toyota evolves the hybrid system until this day, and I am surprised to see that it has first developed from decades ago 💖
Hybrid is the Future. More Robust and not simply relying entirely on any one system.
Best of Both Worlds!
Great video. I looked at many car reviews but no one said a word about how the hybrid system works. Now I know 😀
We're thrilled to hear this!
Toyota all day. Every day 💪🏼
Proud owner of Rav4 Prime.. the pickup is awesome.....love it. Thank you Toyota. Keep up the good work
We appreciate your kind words, Mike! Thanks for being in the Toyota family.
I bought a. Toyota Rav4 in February and I am soooo happy with it! Thank you Toyota :^_^
Here in Australia I've been driving a Yaris Cross AWD hybrid since December 2023 and I'd never go back. This car has the best of both worlds, super efficient with fuel (3.2 to 3.3 L/100k in summer and 3.5 to 3.7 L/100k in mid winter) and reducing my fuel use/emissions by around two thirds. I can take it on any road including some pretty sketchy, muddy roads on farms (switching to "trail" mode) where I sometimes go when running bird watching tours and it gets me and my clients there in safety and comfort. In a Toyota, I also enjoy the confidence that I'm driving a super reliable car that will last me for many years and the support of an amazing service team. I can't believe that anyone would look past one of the Toyota hybrid range when looking for a new car.
Just got a '23 Corolla with safety sense 2.5 (which is great btw), HUD on windscreen which is REALLY good, 62+ mpg, GR sports (very classy look). Only downside is the cabin noise which is more than my old Ford Focus.
I love my Prius. Just bought my second one. I always drive a Prius.
We're glad you love your Prius, Maggie. What made it "the one" for you?
thanks for these informative videos. It explained that there is still a separate 12volt battery and what it does. I had thought before that the hybrid battery or extra battery pack could do everything the 12volt battery does before and had replaced it.
It seems the inverter converter charges the 12volt battery now. It replace a car alternator that use to do that job.
About half through video, started wondering about runways and cruising altitude.
Very good video for education purposes
Really helped me to prepare for my mechanics exam which is tommorow!
Happy to hear it! Best of luck tomorrow! ❤️
Hey I'm 16, and I've been thinking about some careers, how difficult was the mechanic schooling/tests
@@lucaspetty5990 not so hard I might say if you just pay attention to the prof. during lectures + 2-3 hours of weekly study.
@@lucaspetty5990 wasn't that tough , if you just pay attention to prof. During their lecture+ 3-4 hours per week of self study .
I am happy to see future mechanical engineering graduates might still find jobs at Toyota.
It's pretty genius the way they made these
Thanks for your kind words!
I'm so happy with my Toyota Corolla Hybrid 2024 that it easily delivers more than 70 MPG while driving super smooth. Thanks God I made good choice to Toyota Corolla Hybrid
I bought a 2018 when they came out the present design. I love it. Don’t particularly care for the 2025. I had rather have the straight up gas model. I got as high as 42 mpg on the highway
since toyota hybrid driving i never reached more than 5 liters of gasoline for 100km, effective system and easy driving
Very nice technology, I would like to have the budget to buy one of these
financing is available. you just have to pay the lender back**
the 06-07 highlander hybrids are surprisingly cheap
Just get a 2013 Hyundai Sonata hybrid limited.
I love this. My only concern is cost of repairs. I heard it cost thousands of dollars to repair Teslas. Most mechanics don’t even have the training to repair them. I wonder if it’s similar for ths.
Our Son purchased the 2025 LE Camry. He is getting 54 mpg on the interstate for his daily 50 mile round trip commute.
The rear motor ("MG3") for the new Camry Hybrid AWD works, I am told, only up to 20 mph, while others say it works up to over-40 mph. I'm curious: which is it? For the new Prius AWD, I am told it operates at up to 43 mph.
I brought a 24 hybrid rav 4 and love it.
That's awesome! What have you been enjoying most about your RAV4 Hybrid? 🤗
The Power is quite impressive in this suv and the size is pretty good.
@@toyotausa
Thank you for sharing! Here's to taking #LetsGoPlaces to the next level!
MG1 and MG2, this sounds very similar to what I learn in aircraft systems for IDG1 and IDG2. Redundancy, power and efficiency.
I've been wondering how the hybrid cars worked. Now I know
This was awesome, thanks for sharing.
You're welcome!
lets go! Designing cars to maximize the potential of gas engines to save fuel, money and time. This type of vehicle should revolutionize and be the successor to gas only cars
At speeds up to forty, the i-force runs on electricity. This is relevant for traffic jams, environmentally friendly and economical. And also, unlike REV-hybrid it has more autonomy.
Team Toyota waiting to Pick up my new 2025 Camry XSE Heavy Metal color was driving 2019 Camry SE still love it but this women works hard so I buy hard!
Good Video actually
I bought a 2025 Camry SE is this similar to it? I absolutely love it, il never go back to an american domestic ever again.
jus love toyota.....
Bro I’m hyped to get this
"carbon neural", the parts in the car all require massive amounts of carbon.
Very good ❤
Thank you! ❤️
Oh multiple charging components..genius..❤
Amazing tech 👀
You know it! 😎
Proud owner of the rav4 limited hybrid
I'm driving a 2024 Hybrid Plug-in and it's not good on gas at all. I don't get the appeal. The electric only gets 42 miles on a full charge and is used up very quickly. It doesn't self-charge, either.
@@CosmicTruthTeller mine is not one of those plug things lmao
@@marissapepe6078
Why are you "lmao"? Your comment didn't specify ... Geesh. I am driving the plug-in version and unimpressed.
@stephaniereneerose because your driving the plug in one that is why I am laughing I can laugh at anything I want to
@@marissapepe6078lmao, you’re not driving daily a Rolls Royce & a Ferrari as your weekend car. Lmao lmao lmao
Lmao
Incredible video
Bravo 👏
🙌
Awesome video
Amazing
Good presentation but what's with the epic music in the background 🤣
Does braking system charge generates more electricity than alternators or from any electricity generating components in the car?
I love the video.. superbly explained❤
Thank you for the kind words!
My standard gas, 5 speed Yaris got 60 mpg.
4:28 'Atkinson engine is very efficient, but lacks power, but it works together with motor generator 2 to provide power response' (at highway speeds?)
Does MGR provide energy or recharge the battery while the car is moving? Just like how MG2 is when the car is coasting? 😊
Only when coasting, otherwise it would be a drag
So when does the oil engine lubrication system come into play? It moves with the first electric motor For example, while driving at 80 km/h with an electric motor, is there any lubrication when the gasoline engine is activated??
The gasoline engine always work above 50 km/h.
@@ricardolandgrave2532 Our Prius Prime can reach 80mph in EV Mode without the engine starting. Regards engine lubrication with a "cold" engine; if it's required to start, the RPM's are limited for a short period to allow oil to become warm enough to fully protect the engine.
Cud a turbocharge work in this car perfectly fine..?
2021 venza
Would do it if Toyota mixes Ammonia with diesel and Hybrid Electricity
We have a 2024 Prius Prime, our third Prius but first Prime.
Why can't we drive it in Hybrid Mode when the Traction Battery is charged (or, partly charged). No matter what I've tried, the gas engine will not engage until the main battery is exhausted.
In EV Mode, we have been getting 90+Km on a charge. Yesterday I drove 45.6Km and the Trip Computer indicated a remaining range of 56Km. I'm sure the car would have reached 100Km on battery.

In plug-in hybrids, if one drives in EV mode, does the gas engine mechanically work without combustion (like pistons moving, etc)? Or is the gas engine completely at a standstill?
@nogaysallowed95 Yes what?
How much price is this? I am appreciated this kind of car. I want to buy that someday.
Hi, there! We suggest reaching out to your local dealership to get detailed information about pricing and availability. You can find out more about our Hybrid Cars Lineup here: www.toyota.com/hybrid-cars/
When I will make money I will buy probably a Toyota.
Install a 2.5 turbo engine on Toyota Rav4 Prime
And a generator of 250 horsepower
Hello, I’m a student from a university. I need some documents about inverter in toyota prius. Please tell me where I should look. Thank you❤❤
So you use a ic as a generator to charge your batteries. I can't think of more inefficient way to generate electricity l.
How far can you drive on a hybrid electric battery before gas engine kicks in?
Depends on the vehicle, Some cannot at all drive with only Electric power.
A hybrid car like the Toyota Highlander which I have (and love) does nothing to move forward towards an electrified future. Unless it's a plug-in hybrid all of the Power for the vehicle comes from gasoline. It's just a way to make a gasoline car a little more efficient. It's just intentionally deceptive when Toyota says hybrids will help move towards an electrified future.
Wasn't the Honda Insight the first hybrid to hit the market?
違う
Toyota first I guess
There is either wrong information in the video or my car is not working like the video states. My 2024 Prius Limited AWD never shows the rear motor MTR recharging the battery under any brak8 g or coasting condition. Both of the power flow screens (on the instrument cluster and on the infotainment screen) only ever show the front wheels recharging the battery. So is this video wrong, or does my car need an update, or is something wrong with it? I'm not expecting an answer here, but people should know its not like they say.

Why exclusive EV is even a thing?
I would buy a hybrid over an all electric vehicle any day. Hybrid is a good system IMO. I will never buy a all electric car..

yeah, keep on making hybrids and never evs toyota
BYD wins
BYD Buy Your Death Electric C4😂
This extremely complex design explains why Toyota is fighting the EV transition so hard, they invested so much time and money in this design and they have to recover their investment. Unfortunately it doesn't save the consumer much money as it will take thousands of miles to recover the extra 2 to 3 thousand dollars people have to pay for a hybrid system in fuel savings. About 3 to 5 years. It also doesn't save the environment much as European regulators are just now discovering that just like diesel gate, hybrid vehicles contaminate about 3 times as much as manufacturers claim they do. Hybrids are the silliest vehicles ever developed that are only good for Toyota's bottom line.
hybrids cost more so you break even after about 5 years is not inspiring economics
They almost NEVER break after 5 years. Try 15, and then it would be time for a replacement then anyways. They have less mechanics and moving parts, meaning less to maintain over the 15 years also. It’s not just gas ‘savings’.
@@MiahV007 - everything has to be calculated -Toyota 4 cyl coupled to torque trans is simpler than the Hybrids which actually have more mechanicals and much more complicated electrics than conventional 4 cyl cost more to repair - the main concern is the replacement cost of the battery pack which is very expensive after the 10 year battery warranty period expires
@@majorrgeek No, actually. Hybrids have less mechanical and moving counterparts than their ICE counterparts. They have simplified the eCVT transmission to the point where there's no need for a starter, alternator, etc. eCVTS itself DIRECTLY has fewer moving components, than its ICE counterpart.
Due to the eCVT, no maintenance for transmission fluid needs to be done and because of the regenerative braking, fewer brake fluid changes. I owned a Corolla, and now a Lexus CT200h, I know what I'm talking about.
The ONLY concerns about hybrids are the electric water pump, the battery, of course, and the worn head gasket.
@@MiahV007 - not quite true because a typical toyota starter and alternator cost far less than to replace the electric hybrid motor counterpart on a hybrid which can cost anything up to $15k to replace also the hybrid differential trans is more expensive to repair and replace due to the extra work as well as extra cost of components while Toyota conventional trans much cheaper - then the biggest worry I have is the life of the battery just like any Li Ion battery you know it will expire and cost lots down the track when it has to be replaced also many Insurance companies now charge higher premiums for hybrid and electric cars due to the fact that the repairers refuse to repair damaged batteries and need to replace them outright which is very expensive
We have a yaris 1.5 ecvt hybrid with 100 hp. It is from 2012 and yet we didnt had anything to swap. Just did brakes tires and little stuff as on any car. Now we got a 2023 corolla touring with 2.0 which is even better (same usage but 196 hp) it is a great tec
What a load of fake reviews you have put on this ad Toyota, we see you. 😂😂😂😂😂
アホか
(笑)
New engine tech (NET) being developed will be 75% efficient below 50% of torque and 60% efficient from 50% to 100% of torque. It is distributed power and needs NO electric motor. it has 75% brake recovery vs Electric at 55%.
The combustion engine in a hybrid is ~ 35% peak efficiency. Charging, storing and retrieving energy from battery is 0.35 (combustion engine) x 0.93 (generator) x 0.95 (battery in) x 0.93 x 0.95 = 0.35 x 0.78 = 27.3%. Braking is 0.55 x 0.78 = 43%.
A hybrid is heavier and results in a weight factor of around 1.12x better MPG for New Engine tech (NET).
Compared to a Toyota hybrid, NET will be 75/35 x 1.12 = 2.4x better HWY than hybrid. Prius at 56 x 2.4 = 134 MPG HWY. In city, 75/27.3 x 1.12 = 3.077x better. Prius city is 57 x 3.077= 175.4 with the SAME brake recovery, and with 75% brake recovery it is 36% better... 57 x 3.077 x 1.36 = 238 MPG city.
New combustion tech (NET) with a Prius body would be:
134 HWY
238 City
196 Combined
196 new engine tech (NET) vs 56.5 hybrid is 196/56.5 = 3.47x better MPG on average. NET also has no NOX, CO, and can capture CO2 and water in a combined cycle. The CO2 can be used to make fuel from solar Thermal at $1/gal, vs a 100% RE grid at $20/gal for a fuel cost ratio of 20:1.
Factor in fuel cost ratio with fuel consumption ratio of 3.47 and you get a cost ratio of 69.4x from RE fuel vs RE grid in a plug-in mode.
There is NO point to making EVs with NET tech.
In Winter, NET has 47% of drive load for heat use (20% from waste, 20% from intercooling and 7% from high heating value of fuel) vs an BEV at 85% with 10% waste heat useable.
NET is also a heat pump (COP4) and thus can leverage for cooling and heating as needed.
The cost to you can be a SAVINGS of $1-2 billion on each car model and massive sales with NET. Simply install NET in old ICE cars, recalibrate airbags, and sell the model for 5 more years with NET. On year ten, you would switch to NET "skateboard" power tech and all passenger car models are in the 150/240 range HWY/City. A mini van like the a Sienna would be around 90 HWY and 214 City. Range on 20 gallons (2 minute fill) is 3000 miles with CO2 capture and 9000 miles without. No more silly charging...
The question is: Is Toyota interested in new engine tech that can make or brake the company? If not, then you might want to get ready for bankruptcy. All EV companies and old ICE/hybrid companies will not be able to compete with NET. Happy to discuss it.
Interesting basically what musk does with some of his products
Where did you hear of this NET I haven’t seen or heard of it yet? Is it in production anywhere? I wonder if it’s a lot of stress in the engine or what?
I have heard of it before but I know they where having issues with u believe ammonia? For one it’s to slow to do anything lol
I am just stating what my R&D is doing. Take it or leave it. You have NO idea what I am doing or what can be done. If you were smart you would ask questions and humble yourself as I had to going into this. I am the inventor. Yes I am more than qualified to do this and am a Mechanical Engineer with Masters degree. I am giving them heads up, trying to get to them to see the light. If they can do it themselves, then fine. Go for it. But if they can't then bankruptcy will follow unless they want me to help them out. This new engine tech (NET) or similar (I don't have a lock on innovation) is where is has to go. EVs are silly stupid junk that are a dead end. Same with hybrids. @@lucasholmes6410
I am the inventor. In R&D. No, lots of motors, not one.@@lucasholmes6410
It’s 2024, all new cars sold should be at least hybrid.
Maybe if you're driving a family car, sure. But for work? For construction? The power isn't there yet .... But the 2024 Tacoma Hybrid? Similar power to a V6 but gets 25mpg, compared to 21mpg. We're getting there...
I don't care I'm staying gas all the way.
I’m staying with gas only
I bought a 2025 Camry SE is this similar to it? I absolutely love it, il never go back to an american domestic ever again.
